Welcome to the East Harlem Pride Girls Golf campaign page. The East Harlem Pride is a program which allows East Harlem high school students to compete against other NYC high school students at the varsity level. The EH Girls Golf team is a newer addition to the Pride program and we need your help to make this year successful. With the abundance of cutbacks in public school programs it is important to keep new ones afloat. The golf program has faced some obstacles. Transportation to golf matches has been difficult since most courses are not reachable by public transit. We often would show up late or have to forfeit due to lack of transportation. Our clubs are old outdated hand me downs unfit for young girl golfers. All of the players are beginner golfers and professional lessons are extremely helpful, but not cheap. Lastly, the girls receive a discounted greens fee rate a public courses, but is also an expense we need to cover. All donations will go toward equipment, lessons, greens fees, and transportation for East Harlem golfers. With over 1800 girls golf scholarships being awarded last year, and many of them going unawarded, you could help the EH Pride girl golfers compete both athletically and academically. Pride golfers perform strong academically and are motivated to improve as golfers. Your help today could ensure a scholarship for an underprivileged youth in the future.
